Abstract
This paper introduces user modeling into the process of information extraction. It presents the user modeling prototype (UMIE) that we developed during the research project ECRAN. UMIE takes as input information extracted from corpora and adapts it according to the user’s interests in domain categories.
ECRAN (Extraction of Content: Research At Near-market) is a Language Engineering research project (LE-2110), partially supported by the EU, that aims at developing a new technology for information extraction systems in order to reach the market with those systems.
